| The X-38 is planned as the newest lifeboat for the space station. Here is an artist's drawing of what the X-38 looks like. NASA hopes to deploy the craft as a high-flying lifeboat for the ISS in 2006. The X-38 will replace the Russian Soyuz module to be used as an escape vehicle in the early years of ISS operations. Instead of seating the Soyuz's 3 the X-38 will seat 6. This story and more can be found here, on Space.Com |

The X-37 project was thought to have been scrapped, but appearently it is continuing. The link below is to this and other stories found on SPACE.COM.
